installation issues

[Timothy Lane]

Okay, I have went word for word on the installation of Nagios, but I still
am getting errors like no Lock File and numerous others.

My first question is, how much stuff do I need to manually edit to get this
to work??  Do I have manually create all these extra files?  Alls I want is
something to monitor my network traffic that looks nice.

When I do a make install-config command and it makes the sample config
files, are those not good enough for my configuration?  Do I need to committ
lines out to make this work.  This Nagios programs looks REALLY nice and I
just want it to work, seems like a lot of work.

The first thing that always went wrong was the Lock file, so I just created
an emply file call nagios.lock and that error went away.  But when I try to
start the service, its just says to check the configuration.  Is there a LOG
to see what I am missing, so I know how to fix it?

thanks,
